Dear Buchan.

I hear they have not taken you at All Souls. I am more sorry than I can say. We all feel it as a personal disappointment: and, without knowing the man they took, we are convinced that they will be sorry one day that your distinctions are not part of the

All Souls record. But I daresay they will insure by electing you next year.

Still I wish they had had the sense to take you now. One personal consolation is that you are still, & for a little longer, BNC and BNC only.

Yrs very sincerely F.I. Wylie [his tutor]

P.S. I am booking a room for Monday for your brother. Let me know if he doesn't want it.
